Riftbound Radiance Previews Started Yesterday: 180 Cards, 9 Champion Legends and an October 23 Release
Riftbound's last 2026 set, Radiance, is in preview season through October 9. Here is what is confirmed about the cards, Champions and event dates.
Radiance Is the Last Riftbound Set of 2026
Riftbound's fourth and final 2026 release, Radiance, is scheduled for October 23, 2026. Preview season began September 28 and runs through October 9, so new card reveals should be arriving daily for the next two weeks.
What Is Confirmed
- 180 new cards, including 60 Showcase cards.
- 9 new Champion Legends, with Seraphine, Ziggs, Jarvan IV, Ekko and Evelynn confirmed so far.
- Pre-Rift events running October 16 to 22, ahead of the October 23 wide release.
Where Radiance Fits
Riftbound has already released Spiritforged on February 13, Unleashed on May 8 and Vendetta on July 31. Vendetta was also the first set with a single unified release date for China and the United States. Star City Games lists no additional Riftbound sets for November or December 2026.
Why the Preview Window Matters
Preview season is when prices for newly revealed Champions tend to move, and when local shops decide how many sealed products to order. If you play Riftbound, tell your shop soon what you plan to buy so they can size their preorder.
Play Before You Buy
Pre-Rift weekend is the natural time to try the set at a local event. Ask your shop whether it is hosting one and how to sign up.
